Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to translate, perform cross-cultural adaptation, and evaluate the clinimetric properties of the Hindi version of the Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptom and sign (LANSS) pain scale.

Methods

A cross-sectional study involving 51 patients with DPN was completed. With permission from the original LANSS pain scale authors, the translation into Hindi was conducted following Beaton’s guidelines. The translation process adhered to all 8 steps, involving experts from both medical and nonmedical fields.

Results

The translated scale demonstrated excellent relative reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.96, ICC = 0.99) and absolute reliability (CV% = 0.26, SEM = 0.70). It also showed excellent content validity (I-CVI = 1, S-CVI/Ave = 0.92, S-CVI/U = 0.71). The Minimal Detectable Change at 95% confidence interval (MDC₉₅) and Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) indicated clinical significance. The Smallest Worthwhile Change (SWC) of 1 indicated good sensitivity of the translated version.

Conclusion

The Hindi version of the LANSS pain scale exhibits acceptable clinimetric properties and is suitable for assessing neuropathic pain in patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy .

糖尿病周围神经病变患者的神经症状和体征疼痛量表的利兹评估的印地语翻译、验证和临床特性的估计

目的本研究旨在翻译、进行跨文化适应，并评估印度版利兹神经性症状和体征评估（LANSS）疼痛量表的临床特性。方法对51例DPN患者进行横断面研究。在获得LANSS疼痛量表原始作者的许可后，按照比顿的指导原则将其翻译成印地语。翻译过程遵循了所有8个步骤，涉及医学和非医学领域的专家。结果该量表具有良好的相对信度（Cronbach’s alpha = 0.96, ICC = 0.99）和绝对信度（CV% = 0.26, SEM = 0.70）。内容效度高（I-CVI = 1, S-CVI/Ave = 0.92, S-CVI/U = 0.71）。95%置信区间的最小可检测变化（MDC95）和最小临床重要差异（MCID）表明临床意义。最小值变化（minimum worthy Change， SWC）为1，表明译文敏感性较好。结论印度版LANSS疼痛量表具有可接受的临床特性，适用于评估糖尿病周围神经病变患者的神经性疼痛。
